Nature Conservation Franks (Naturschutzfranken) – Donations to the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Fund
The nature conservation franc flows into the pot of the nature and species conservation fund. The fund is managed by the financial administration and 100% of the money is at the disposal of the Bern Animal Park. It is tax-exempt and you will receive a donation receipt from us.
Would you like to support the Bern Animal Park in its efforts to protect nature and species? Donate to the nature and species conservation fund! The zoo is committed to selected Nature conservation projects with this fund for the protection and conservation of habitats, endangered animals and thus the preservation of biodiversity in Switzerland.

With an annual pass you can visit the zoo several times within a year, so an amount of CHF 10 has been used here. Whether – and how much – you want to donate is ultimately up to you. The more donations we receive, the more nature conservation projects we can support.
It varies from project to project how much money is budgeted, depending on the proposed objectives and measures. Also, some projects are divided into multi-stage phases with small sub-budgets.
